But I didn't want 82 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,039 Speaker 1: to get remarried. Now I've had my talk with my 83 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: sons about how you should react, if you should be 84 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: you know, come across the police. But I am the police. 85 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: So I've been in situations working as an officer where 86 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 1: I was the only black person on that particular watch 87 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: and nobody wanted to work with me, you know, nobody. 88 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 1: They would complain that they had to work with me. 89 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: This was early in my career. You know, I was 90 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: that person who if I saw something going wrong on 91 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 1: the street, I would stop it. You're not gonna treat 92 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: these You're not gonna treat You're not gonna be on 93 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: the west side, the south side and treat people in 94 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: any kind of way in my presence. So I just 95 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: want people to let people to know that, you know, 96 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: it's a lot of police officers not have not and 97 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 1: do not turn a blind eye um to um injustice 98 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: that are impropriety because I'm from the neighborhood and it 99 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 1: bothers me. You know, I can't tell you how much 100 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: I used to drive my boys around because I was 101 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: afraid to let them go. Right, what do you say? 102 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: Go ahead? And I was just gonna say, that's gonna 103 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: be a hard thing to reconcile. For you, being a 104 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: black woman and a police officer and having boys, what 105 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 1: do you say to your sons to just explain what 106 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 1: is going on in the world and what it means 107 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: to be black boys growing up in this country. What 108 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: do you say to them? You have to give them 109 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: the reality of what's going on, sugarcoated and let them 110 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: not be prepared. I have to be honest with them 111 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 1: that this is what you may face. I've faced it, right, 112 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: you know, and I've been and not just with the 113 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: police department, but before I joined in other situations where 114 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: I was called all kind of names in the books 115 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 1: stop you know, in Berlin. So it's so hard because 116 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 1: we know it's not supposed to be that way. We 117 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: pay for our children, and but we have to be 118 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 1: real about it. Yeah, we do. As a police officer, Tina, 119 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: I'm start to interrupt you. But as a police officer, um, 120 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: how how empowered do you really feel? And I believe 121 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 1: that and I think what I'm hearing you say is 122 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 1: the vast majority of police officers that you're aware of, 123 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: or maybe you didn't say this. I don't want to 124 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: put words in your mouth, but many, most are good people. 125 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: And they're out here looking out for the community and 126 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: looking out for the way that the community is treated 127 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: because you're part of it. But how empowered do you 128 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: feel to report another police officer for behavior that you 129 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 1: find i'mbecoming? I have no problems when I can say 130 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 1: I'm say times have been in trouble of bundatim quote 131 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: about standing up. I have to both in the streets 132 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: because because I came from the streets doesn't mean you're 133 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: gonna leave me there. I'm not worth anything. You understand 134 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So the best I do I do. 135 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: But I think what I want to know is is 136 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: I know you're strong enough to do it. But how 137 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: empowered do you feel? Do you feel supported when you 138 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: do bring up things that you see that art right? No? No, no, 139 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: I know, And that's that's part of our problem. That's 140 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: that's the truth. I don't. I can't tell you how 141 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: many times I've told people, Hey, this is how you 142 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: report somebody better that you know, and if people want 143 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: to go, you know, some people want to go or 144 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: you're breaking a coach? How can I live with myself? 145 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: And if you're gonna be at my presence and mystreets 146 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: one I can't have it.

And we'll get 172 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: back to that because I know that's important for people too, 173 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 1: because there's so much go on now. You've got first 174 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: the pandemic and now and now this, and people are 175 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,439 Speaker 1: scared and they want that diversion.

What do you want 179 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: to say? Well, you know what I'm wanted to say 180 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:22,199 Speaker 1: is I don't it's hard to really come up with 181 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,839 Speaker 1: a good auntwer and what we can do there that's 182 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: probably up to a mile bit. What I've been noticing 183 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 1: a police officers in a daily basis, they go through 184 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: to medicine, unappressure, to manicum on the shops, heaving to 185 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 1: deal with the public. You know, imagine eight ten hours 186 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: a day having to deal with just just a lot 187 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:44,319 Speaker 1: of bs. You know nowadays everyone you know, they walk 188 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: around like as a their attorneys. You know, I know 189 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: my rights, I know this, and I know that. And 190 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 1: for police officers to an extent they can, I'll do 191 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: their jobs, you know. So I think at some point 192 00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:02,439 Speaker 1: police officers need more time off, more like a better rotation, 193 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,719 Speaker 1: you know, to kind of help ease their reputation. And 194 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people say, you know, whether 195 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 1: they're professionals, this is their job is to work to 196 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,439 Speaker 1: deal with it. But imagine how many other people are 197 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,079 Speaker 1: in different industries and their jobs. Hows how upset they 198 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: get on a simple eight hours day and they just 199 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: want to, you know, go and snack somebody some sort 200 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: of decompression opportunity for police officers in general, decompression they 201 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: need to maybe the police is to offer more cantling. 202 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 1: And you know, at the end of the day, due 203 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: to a lot of the cover ups, you know, something 204 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: has to come down to unions. You know, union jobs. 205 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,439 Speaker 1: You know, they're very protective. You know, you got to 206 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: go to lucer hurdles before someone gets can and you 207 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: know that that to make it more difficult for police 208 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: officers to be maybe analyzed for that they do the 209 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,719 Speaker 1: wrong game. You know, Tony, I appreciate the call. I 210 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: can't speak to a lot of it because I haven't 211 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 1: experienced that. You know, you hear about this code of silence. 212 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 1: You hear about this camaraderie among police officers, which I'm 213 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: sure is important. Um, although when it comes to speaking 214 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: out against things that aren't right. You know, there were 215 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,319 Speaker 1: three officers, uh, and this isn't to your point, but 216 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 1: there were three officers that watched what happened, and I 217 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: can't and this didn't say a word.

I'm 222 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: not sure that. I'm not sure that's what you're saying. 223 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 1: I don't think that you're yes, I'm clearly the definitely 224 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 1: not what I'm saying.

And at the end of the day, 278 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: when the officers makes a statement by saying oh, it's 279 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: hard for me to go back and say anything because 280 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: I'll be singled out.

And I hope that people don't just go 334 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: back to I mean, I say it again, I hope 335 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: that people don't just go back to their normal lives 336 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: in a couple of days or a week or whenever 337 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: the news cycle changes or something else. I mean, if 338 00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: we have to take a stand, there are lots of 339 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 1: ways so we can do it. We are empowered and 340 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: we know we can share with you some of those ways. 341 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Robert. Have a great morning. Thanks 342 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: for sharing, are you guys? Yeah? Glad you called. Hey, Kathy, 343 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: good morning, thanks for holding Hey. Yeah, I'm a therapist. 344 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: I'm a black queer therapist in Chicago, and so what's 345 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: going on right now is difficult on so many levels. 346 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: I've also back when we were chanting, I can't breathe 347 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,400 Speaker 1: because of Eric Gardner. I was out there protesting, and 348 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: you know, things didn't get to this level and we 349 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: were still beaten, we were still kettled and everything. And 350 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 1: so I think the conversation here really does need to 351 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: be about the fact that this is really systemic, a 352 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: massive amount of trauma on every level individually in our 353 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: communities and our families, in our society. And that I 354 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: mean from a therapeutic perspective like that what we're seeing 355 00:17:56,119 --> 00:18:00,880 Speaker 1: if we're talking about trauma like the fears sense of 356 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,439 Speaker 1: murdering black of police murdering black people because while it's 357 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:09,160 Speaker 1: their job is in itself an expression of trauma. It's 358 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 1: a protection all of the systems that are supposed to 359 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 1: protect us and are failing. And I mean, it goes 360 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 1: way too deep for me to go through here, but 361 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: I think it's really important to acknowledge that fact because 362 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 1: the trauma isn't like the Black community is hurting, and 363 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: there's so much misunderstanding, and there's so much talking about 364 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: us as bodies, talking about us as you know, undeserving 365 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,159 Speaker 1: of protection and of life, and it's distrusting and it 366 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 1: hurts so much. And I see my clients, and I 367 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: think one thing that's really telling that people need to 368 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: realize is, you know, I have some clients that are 369 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 1: you know, like nicey adults, but I still have some 370 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:56,160 Speaker 1: some clients who are like nineteen, and they're my black 371 00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:01,640 Speaker 1: clients that are nineteen. They're not they're not prize. They're 372 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 1: not saying, oh my god, how could this happen. They're 373 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 1: saying they're they're coming to me and they're like, I 374 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 1: know I should feel something, but this happens so often. 375 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:14,880 Speaker 1: I'm just not. Wow. It's like like they like you've 376 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 1: become conditioned to it, almost like it's the expectation. And 377 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,919 Speaker 1: that's the thing, like we knew like this happens. I 378 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:26,880 Speaker 1: mean Houston police shot another man in it two days ago, wow, 379 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: and he was handcuffed on the ground and they shot 380 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,119 Speaker 1: him and there's a video of it. And it's just 381 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: like you can't that exposure. Like I beg people to 382 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:40,119 Speaker 1: please stop posting the desk videos. Research has shown it 383 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 1: does not help, and it only facilitates more trauma, more PTSD, 384 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 1: more complex trauma expression. And our healthcare system is so fragmented. 385 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 1: Our mental healthcare system is even worse that people aren't 386 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,119 Speaker 1: getting the treatment they need.

They said, 508 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 1: we can't imagine the feeling that that kind of fear 509 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 1: at anger has over a lifetime. We're ashamed that in 510 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 1: the past we've allowed ourselves to be uninformed about how 511 00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 1: deeply rooted systematic racism is.

All right, so some tough 588 00:30:55,640 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 1: news to start trending this morning. According to two different autopsies, 589 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 1: George Floyd's death was a homicide. The medical examiner had 590 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 1: originally done an autopsy, and then the family had an 591 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 1: independent exam ordered. The findings contradicted each other when it 592 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 1: came to what caused the homicide rulings. One of the 593 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 1: doctors hired by the famili said the evidence is consistent 594 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 1: with medical asphyxia. Independent medical examiner doctor Michael Baiden, said 595 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 1: the autopsy shows that mister Floyd had no underlying medical 596 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 1: problem that caused or contributed to his death. However, the 597 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 1: County Medical Examiner said that Floyd experienced a cardiopulmonary arrest 598 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 1: while being restrained by law enforcement. Other significant conditions were 599 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 1: hypertensive heart disease, pentanol intoxication, and recent meth that thehetamine use. 600 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 1: Doctor Baiden said, many people are under the impression that 601 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 1: if you can talk, you are breathing. That's not true. 602 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: I am talking and talking and talking and not breathing 603 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 1: in front of you. Floyd's family lawyer so that George 604 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 1: died because he needed a breath. He needed a breath 605 00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 1: of air. Beyond question. He would be alive today if 606 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 1: not for the pressure applied to his neck by the 607 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 1: fire police officer and the strain on his body from 608 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 1: the two additional officers kneeing him in his back. So 609 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 1: now they have two reports that say, yeah, well, let's 610 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 1: go get the other guys, all right, Floyd Mayweather. As 611 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 1: you mentioned in the entertainmerent uport, the boxing legend offered 612 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 1: to pay for George Floyd's funeral services, and the family 613 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,840 Speaker 1: has accepted. He's paying for all four services for Floyd 614 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,480 Speaker 1: and Houston, Minnesota's Charlotte, and another location to be named 615 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 1: at a later day. He already cut the check eighty 616 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 1: eight thou five hundred dollars to the Fort Ben Memorial 617 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 1: Funeral Home to cover the costs of George Floyd's funeral services. 618 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 1: Retailers and restaurants across the US are closing their doors 619 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: yet again, this time because of the protests over the 620 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 1: killing of George Floyd. Retailers and other businesses in the 621 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 1: Bay Area, New York City, Atlanta, Philly, Minneapolish, Chicago, of course, 622 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: experience broken windows, thefts, and other violence over the weekend. 623 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 1: Many of those businesses had just reopened after being closed 624 00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 1: for weeks due to the coronavirus outbreak, and now they're 625 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 1: being forced to close again, which is going to hurt 626 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 1: those small businesses, while the impact will be less destructive 627 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 1: for big companies like Apple and Target, both of which 628 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:13,360 Speaker 1: have also closed US businesses or some are trying to reopen. 629 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 1: Many have required employees and customers to sign waivers before entering. 630 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 1: From hair salons and recreation centers to stock exchanges and 631 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 1: wedding photographers. Notices have sprung up all across the country 632 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 1: asking guests to acknowledge you could get the coronavirus from 633 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 1: being here. Companies are using signs, forms and website postings 634 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 1: as a shield against lawsuits, but experts say the measures 635 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,440 Speaker 1: will not prevent people from seeking damages due to negligence 636 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,720 Speaker 1: if they catch the coronavirus. What a mess. So, now 637 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 1: if you go outside and go into a business, now 638 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 1: you're going to assume me if I get coronavirus in 639 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 1: my business? That is is that not implied risk that 640 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 1: if you walk outside at this point that you'll cover 641 00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 1: base coverings, enhanced anititizer. And yet it's still possible that 642 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 1: you can get the coronavirus, isn't that kind of Yeah? 643 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 1: And how do you know to how to blame it 644 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 1: on that one place? Because who knows how long you 645 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,400 Speaker 1: had it and where you got it. Yeah. And finally, 646 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 1: the coronavirus is causing people to move from the city 647 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:16,719 Speaker 1: to rural areas. People are trading the city living for chickens. Apparently, 648 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,880 Speaker 1: would you do it after all of this? Would you 649 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,040 Speaker 1: do it? Would you consider not living in the city 650 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 1: as to not expose yourself to as many people and 651 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 1: potentially the coronavirus? Nope? I love my city. I love 652 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:31,280 Speaker 1: living in the city. The upbreak is fundamentally changing the appeal, 653 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 1: the necessity, and the feasibility of living in a big 654 00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,040 Speaker 1: city as work becomes less tied at the office or 655 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 1: disappears completely. A poll found that thirty four percent of 656 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,440 Speaker 1: people with jobs said that they're working from home, and 657 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:43,759 Speaker 1: people in cities hit hard by the pandemic like New York, 658 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,719 Speaker 1: San Francisco, in Seattle, Chicago as well are searching for 659 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,760 Speaker 1: remote work opportunities significantly more than the rest of the country. 660 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,600 Speaker 1: Some real estate data suggest that many are already considering 661 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:57,320 Speaker 1: or making a move to a smaller town or suburb. 662 00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 1: So now all that house on thing that I've been 663 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:03,759 Speaker 1: watching our house house Hunters on HTTV will finally pay off, 664 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 1: because now I can finally go get that two hundred 665 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,959 Speaker 1: and fifty thousand dollars mansion in Missoula, Montana or whatever. 666 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 1: As long as you have your chicken coop in the backyard, 667 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,319 Speaker 1: you gotta get make sure you gotta have. Suppose it 668 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,200 Speaker 1: doesn't matter, like if you're working from home. I suppose 669 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. You can work from anywhere. I just 670 00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,840 Speaker 1: personally would not want to see. Now you can finally 671 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,839 Speaker 1: have your craft room, and you can have your your 672 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,359 Speaker 1: chicken coop and your jam room, and you can have 673 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 1: your extra storage, your indoor pool and your outdoor pool 674 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,279 Speaker 1: and your she shed and you can have all of that. 675 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,879 Speaker 1: And so what's your budget like a buck fifty? Yeah, 676 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty. It's always that way. What do 677 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,400 Speaker 1: you watch house enters? So yeah, chickens are you're trading 678 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,719 Speaker 1: the el for chickens. Some people are doing it. You know. 679 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,799 Speaker 1: One thing I did here though, is that apparently car 680 00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:52,160 Speaker 1: sales of skyrocketed of late because people would rather drive 681 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,399 Speaker 1: in their you know, individual car than they would take 682 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,640 Speaker 1: public transportation. That makes sense. So for the people come 683 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:00,520 Speaker 1: into the city, I guess you know, for those of 684 00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:02,680 Speaker 1: you who are thinking, oh this is great, the commune 685 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:04,680 Speaker 1: will be less because no, I want to have to 686 00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:06,200 Speaker 1: sit in traffic for an hour I have every day 687 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 1: now because half these people aren't coming to work anymore. No, 688 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:09,919 Speaker 1: a lot of the people who were on the train 689 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:11,160 Speaker 1: now I want to be in a car so they 690 00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:15,600 Speaker 1: can be encapsulated and not get the coronavirus. So no 691 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:19,080 Speaker 1: such luck there. Um Our friend Jamal cole I heard 692 00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 1: media Chicago.

I mean, I mean, honestly, 827 00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:47,319 Speaker 1: what you're saying now, there's no there's no magic trick, 828 00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:49,960 Speaker 1: there's no you know, there's no secret formula. I mean, 829 00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,600 Speaker 1: it's it's stand up for one another. And I don't again, 830 00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:54,319 Speaker 1: I'm starting to get preachy again. And I don't mean 831 00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:55,719 Speaker 1: to be preachy. It's not me, but I mean it 832 00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:59,880 Speaker 1: just it seems so obvious. It's right something you know, 833 00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:02,279 Speaker 1: just because it's simple. Don't mean to be but it 834 00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:04,400 Speaker 1: really isn't simple. Man. You know, you want to and 835 00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,520 Speaker 1: you want to make a difference, you gotta start starting 836 00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,360 Speaker 1: on the block. Like who we know everybody on a 837 00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:11,839 Speaker 1: presidential cabinet. We don't even know who our neighbors are. Yeah, 838 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:13,920 Speaker 1: I mean, what can you do to make a difference 839 00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:16,000 Speaker 1: on your block? And if you start right there, you 840 00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:17,640 Speaker 1: can develop a muscle it takes to take on a 841 00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:20,719 Speaker 1: bigger chance, So people to start local. It starts on 842 00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:24,279 Speaker 1: the block and having these conversations with your neighbors, even 843 00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:27,640 Speaker 1: your own family members who are just sort of oblivious 844 00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:30,760 Speaker 1: to everything that's happening, and you know, like all those 845 00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,840 Speaker 1: people that you don't even know. But the things that 846 00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:35,640 Speaker 1: you could do to uplift your own community if you 847 00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:39,040 Speaker 1: just walk outside and talk to people. Yeah, man, it's 848 00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:41,880 Speaker 1: just and educate, educate the youth as much as you can, 849 00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:44,680 Speaker 1: kind of let people know that there's a there's a 850 00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:48,240 Speaker 1: difference between you know, force and violence, like a peacefully 851 00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:50,840 Speaker 1: protesting can Actually it's actually very forcible. I don't know 852 00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,440 Speaker 1: who's trying to make it seemed like protesting isn't forceful, 853 00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:56,760 Speaker 1: but violence is when you're violating somebody's property, And that's 854 00:43:56,800 --> 00:44:01,480 Speaker 1: like force can be powersible. Violence is only violence. We 855 00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:04,120 Speaker 1: need to know the difference. And I think that actually 856 00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:07,520 Speaker 1: community organizing is very forceful. It's a forceful movement. It 857 00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:10,360 Speaker 1: can get people to change their agendas to stop, you know, 858 00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:12,040 Speaker 1: And I think we just need to know the difference 859 00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:16,279 Speaker 1: between force and violence. Yeah, and I think it's it's 860 00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:18,040 Speaker 1: one thing that we've been doing and I think maybe 861 00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,600 Speaker 1: one of the more valuable things. So hopefully UH is 862 00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:22,759 Speaker 1: sharing the idea. You know, if I hear one more 863 00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:26,600 Speaker 1: person say, you know, loop in the violence and the destruction, 864 00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:31,080 Speaker 1: UM with the protesting, as if it's one thing, it 865 00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,680 Speaker 1: is not. The vast majority of the people out there 866 00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:36,239 Speaker 1: who are standing up for George Floyd, standing up for 867 00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:39,680 Speaker 1: this inequality, are not being violent. In fact, many of 868 00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:41,799 Speaker 1: these people are trying to stop the violence. At the 869 00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,239 Speaker 1: same time. UM, you will talk about those people. Let's 870 00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:46,480 Speaker 1: talk about those people who are standing in front of 871 00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:48,359 Speaker 1: the target saying do not do this. You're taking away 872 00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:54,480 Speaker 1: from our message, you know, right right. I think it's 873 00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:57,120 Speaker 1: so important you know that we differentiate. Yes, people are 874 00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:00,160 Speaker 1: frustrated and people are scared because they're their neighborhood are 875 00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:03,120 Speaker 1: being destroyed. And I understand that. I mean, it's even 876 00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,319 Speaker 1: it's happening in my neighborhood is happening in my peers 877 00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:08,120 Speaker 1: neighborhood is happening in yours, and everybody's affected. But but 878 00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:11,919 Speaker 1: it can't take away from the message, right for sure, 879 00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:15,000 Speaker 1: you know if i'm this is what people should also 880 00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:17,400 Speaker 1: consider is that if if you grow up in an 881 00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:20,120 Speaker 1: under resource chellege with the neighborhood, the way you show 882 00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:22,560 Speaker 1: respect is a lot different than maybe a police officer 883 00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:24,440 Speaker 1: might be anticipating. I mean it might not. You know, 884 00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:26,799 Speaker 1: you might be respecting this person, but but there's a 885 00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:29,400 Speaker 1: big issue when you they show up and riot here downtown. 886 00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:34,080 Speaker 1: The intimidation, the intimidation factor of it all exactly. Now, 887 00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:35,600 Speaker 1: what do you how do you expect me to react? 888 00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:37,319 Speaker 1: I don't know what to do, and so I think 889 00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:39,560 Speaker 1: we need to It needs to be better relationships between 890 00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:43,120 Speaker 1: the community and plice officers because those old billy clubs 891 00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:45,200 Speaker 1: and I saw it in some of their eyes, man, 892 00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:46,960 Speaker 1: So we can keep they A lot of them show 893 00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:48,840 Speaker 1: great restraint and it's a great job to be and 894 00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,359 Speaker 1: it's a big if a community job if you want 895 00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:53,120 Speaker 1: to do that. But if you have that badge, you 896 00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:55,640 Speaker 1: can amplify your true character. If you're a good person, 897 00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:58,360 Speaker 1: Having that badge gives you a platform to amplify goodness 898 00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:01,360 Speaker 1: if you're a bad person, having that bag to amplify 899 00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:05,600 Speaker 1: within this. Yeah, I think you're right. Yeah, I think 900 00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:07,520 Speaker 1: you're right, And I think what we have to say though, 901 00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:09,799 Speaker 1: um and I think we would all agree. It's it's 902 00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:12,040 Speaker 1: sad that it's come to the point where police are 903 00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,080 Speaker 1: having to show up in force and are having to 904 00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:18,040 Speaker 1: feeling that they have to protect themselves because it becomes 905 00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:20,680 Speaker 1: so futile. It's become it's become something that it's not 906 00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:24,840 Speaker 1: because maybe the work's not being done ahead of time 907 00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:29,879 Speaker 1: to prevent, you know, to to create that distrust. I mean, 908 00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:31,799 Speaker 1: we had a police officer on yesterday and he's like, 909 00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:33,319 Speaker 1: I don't I don't want to be out there. I 910 00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:35,200 Speaker 1: don't want to be wearing this stuff. I don't want 911 00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:38,160 Speaker 1: to be in this feudal environment. But this is where 912 00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,560 Speaker 1: we are. UM. And he was one of the good guys, 913 00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:43,799 Speaker 1: I believe. Yeah, you know that's the thing. But they 914 00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,680 Speaker 1: are the majority. Ours are good guys. I have friends 915 00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:48,440 Speaker 1: that are I mean, cops. Everybody have to do from 916 00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:50,640 Speaker 1: nobody a cop, you know. I think we have a 917 00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:52,799 Speaker 1: Superintendent Brown that just came to the city and wants 918 00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:55,520 Speaker 1: to do well. We want to work with police officers 919 00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,080 Speaker 1: and have them take asset based tour of the neighborhoods 920 00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:01,640 Speaker 1: before they start. You know, that's a solution, having them 921 00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:04,359 Speaker 1: build relationships with kids. Yeah, I work with I work 922 00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,080 Speaker 1: with black kids all the time. And if if if 923 00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:10,080 Speaker 1: a black and brown youth when a cop passing by, 924 00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:12,400 Speaker 1: they jump. They don't you don't have to have the 925 00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:15,640 Speaker 1: firing on. They just jump. But why why don't you jump? Oh? Man, 926 00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:19,120 Speaker 1: police officers would kill you. That's why I jumped, you 927 00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:23,160 Speaker 1: know exactly. But the white kids that work with the 928 00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:26,520 Speaker 1: north don't have the same way, right police officers. So 929 00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:28,680 Speaker 1: it makes me think that you know, other kids get 930 00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:30,560 Speaker 1: to learn how to ride their bikes, and then you've 931 00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:32,120 Speaker 1: got black kids. I have to learn how to act 932 00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:34,120 Speaker 1: when they get pulled over by the police officers. Man. 933 00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:36,279 Speaker 1: And that's let me put in my hands attended too. 934 00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:38,040 Speaker 1: I'm reaching for the window that this is the things 935 00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:40,640 Speaker 1: that have to and that's not fair, man, it's not right. Right. 936 00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:42,720 Speaker 1: The police have a lot of work to do in 937 00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:46,279 Speaker 1: the black community as far as public relations and just 938 00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:49,520 Speaker 1: letting people know that they are there for a good reason. 939 00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:52,600 Speaker 1: Instead of just showing up when they hear a crime 940 00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:54,680 Speaker 1: or get a nine one one call or throw the 941 00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:56,640 Speaker 1: sirens on. They need to come in with their sirens 942 00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:59,600 Speaker 1: off and just talk to these kids when I hate 943 00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:02,680 Speaker 1: that we have to have that conversation about about bad 944 00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:05,239 Speaker 1: police officers and good police officers. But if nothing else, 945 00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:07,319 Speaker 1: I hope you know police officers listening and those of 946 00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:09,359 Speaker 1: you who maybe don't think about it. I mean, this 947 00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:11,920 Speaker 1: is an opportunity. Not that I'm telling you guys what 948 00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,160 Speaker 1: to do. You're the authorities, but this is an opportunity 949 00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:16,879 Speaker 1: for you to, you know, maybe think twice about what 950 00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:19,800 Speaker 1: you see and what's happening in your environment and what's happening. 951 00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:22,400 Speaker 1: And this is not just for police officers but probably everybody. 952 00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:24,239 Speaker 1: I mean, what do you what do you see that's 953 00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:26,319 Speaker 1: not right? And are you willing to stand up for 954 00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:29,000 Speaker 1: that and use your voice. I mean, that's a place 955 00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:31,720 Speaker 1: to start. It is a place to start. And listen. 956 00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:35,440 Speaker 1: Thank you for protecting a servants imperfect human beings.

And to his point, by the way, and 1004 00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:39,640 Speaker 1: to everyone's point, Angie's too all of our point about 1005 00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:43,800 Speaker 1: about police and and sort of the perception. There's actually 1006 00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:46,520 Speaker 1: a story today about it. Um what can police officers 1007 00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:49,040 Speaker 1: do to regain some trust among their local communities. Well, 1008 00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:52,759 Speaker 1: researchers from Yale say the police can greatly improve attitudes 1009 00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:55,480 Speaker 1: towards law enforcement by making brief and friendly toward a 1010 00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:57,600 Speaker 1: door visits. These are the kind of visits that would 1011 00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:00,880 Speaker 1: happen when nobody's in trouble. For many, the idea of 1012 00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:03,200 Speaker 1: officers knocking on their door on anus is not exactly 1013 00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:05,480 Speaker 1: the most comforting and relaxing thought, which is the point. 1014 00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:09,000 Speaker 1: People are conditioned to only interact with cops when they're 1015 00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:11,799 Speaker 1: in trouble or during an emergency. But researchers say normalizing 1016 00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:14,600 Speaker 1: interactions between people and police can go a long way 1017 00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:19,320 Speaker 1: towards restoring some trust. Their study finds that just one pleasant, 1018 00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:23,120 Speaker 1: non enforcement related conversation with an officer can improve trust 1019 00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:27,760 Speaker 1: in law enforcement and increase one's willingness to cooperate with police. 1020 00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:31,040 Speaker 1: Just one, just one. It seems so easy, you know, 1021 00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:33,239 Speaker 1: it has to be one, but it also has to 1022 00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:36,719 Speaker 1: be consistent, you know, that's need to be in the 1023 00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:40,520 Speaker 1: neighborhoods for other reasons and erasing the fear. It's not 1024 00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:44,120 Speaker 1: you know, us against the police. It's the police in 1025 00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:47,640 Speaker 1: the community against the problem. And you know the line 1026 00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:50,279 Speaker 1: the divide should not be there. Can I just stop 1027 00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:52,279 Speaker 1: in really quick. When I we didn't talk about this, 1028 00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:54,719 Speaker 1: but when I was out protesting on Saturday, it was 1029 00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:57,800 Speaker 1: like one of the most beautiful moments is people started. 1030 00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:00,719 Speaker 1: The cops were scary. I was very frightened with what 1031 00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:03,600 Speaker 1: they were wearing and they did look like, you know, robots. 1032 00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:07,279 Speaker 1: It was really scary. But people started throwing stuff at 1033 00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:10,440 Speaker 1: the cops, and a ton of people who are protesting, 1034 00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:13,239 Speaker 1: you know kindly like would grab their arm and say, 1035 00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:15,399 Speaker 1: we're not We're not doing that. That is not why 1036 00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:18,080 Speaker 1: we are here. And it was really beautiful to see 1037 00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:21,600 Speaker 1: people stepping in and piling the cops. It was it 1038 00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:24,040 Speaker 1: was awesome to see because people tried it and other 1039 00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:27,200 Speaker 1: people stepped in. So great there is good people and 1040 00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:31,080 Speaker 1: good protesters out there, peaceful Canylan, thanks for sharing that. 1041 00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:33,920 Speaker 1: And it looks I want to believe the vast majority 1042 00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:35,919 Speaker 1: of those cops that you saw wearing those outfits don't 1043 00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:37,600 Speaker 1: want to be in those outfits. They don't want to 1044 00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:38,920 Speaker 1: have stuff thrown at them, they don't want to they 1045 00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:40,480 Speaker 1: probably don't want to be there at all, I can, 1046 00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:43,680 Speaker 1: you know. But that's that's where we are UM right now. 1047 00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:45,360 Speaker 1: And I guess you know, what we do now is 1048 00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:47,840 Speaker 1: pick up the pieces and try and move forward with 1049 00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:51,239 Speaker 1: something with something productive. And I, you know, I I 1050 00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:53,440 Speaker 1: don't want to sound like a broken record or somebody 1051 00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:55,200 Speaker 1: who's not in touch with it, because I'm trying to 1052 00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:56,799 Speaker 1: be and I'm here and we're doing this. We're all 1053 00:52:56,880 --> 00:53:00,520 Speaker 1: here doing this, and I hope it's I hope it's 1054 00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:03,200 Speaker 1: the last time will be I'm not sure, but but 1055 00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:05,880 Speaker 1: I certainly hope that it is, UM. And if it's not, 1056 00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:08,160 Speaker 1: then we continue to spread the message, and we continue 1057 00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:10,200 Speaker 1: to spread the spread the message, you know, to our 1058 00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:13,520 Speaker 1: point in UM in the good times too, you know, 1059 00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:16,680 Speaker 1: when there's not turmoil and there's not tragedy.

Just a note about Black Tuesday. This 1087 00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:38,520 Speaker 1: was originally organized by workers in the music industry. Users 1088 00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:41,399 Speaker 1: on social media, particularly Instagram, is sharing images of black 1089 00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:45,000 Speaker 1: squares and solidarity with black victims of police violence. There's 1090 00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:47,920 Speaker 1: only one sort of cavigat to this. It's important. Many 1091 00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:50,959 Speaker 1: are attacking their posts with the hashtags black Lives Matter 1092 00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:54,040 Speaker 1: and BLM, which is obscuring a channel that's being used 1093 00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:57,960 Speaker 1: to share a vital information about protests, organization donations, and 1094 00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:02,680 Speaker 1: to document police violence. So all they're saying is do 1095 00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:06,960 Speaker 1: this today. Just don't use the hashtags black Lives Matter 1096 00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:12,279 Speaker 1: and hashtag BLM for this particular movement because it again 1097 00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:14,279 Speaker 1: they're using, this is an information source for a lot 1098 00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:17,320 Speaker 1: of people, and it's obscuring that.

Yeah, just do it. 1100 00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:22,520 Speaker 1: And I guess you can use the hashtag black Tuesday, 1101 00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:25,320 Speaker 1: just just not the hashtag black Lives Matter and BLM. 1102 00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:27,840 Speaker 1: I've seen this all over this morning, so that's really important. 1103 00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:31,560 Speaker 1: UM Today, I know that many folks from KISSFM are 1104 00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:35,479 Speaker 1: headed out because, like like most of us, we're looking 1105 00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:37,160 Speaker 1: for ways to help them be proactive.

We'd love to 1143 00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:29,840 Speaker 1: hear good news, positive stories and we need them these days. 1144 00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:31,520 Speaker 1: Happy stuff to put a smile on your face, give 1145 00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:34,120 Speaker 1: you some faith in humanity and what you find. Sandford 1146 00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:36,880 Speaker 1: Middle School in Minneapolis asked the community for help in 1147 00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:40,160 Speaker 1: response to the looting and destruction of grocery and convenience 1148 00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:43,560 Speaker 1: stores from the protests. They requested eighty five meal kids 1149 00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:46,080 Speaker 1: be donated to help feed families in the area who 1150 00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:48,640 Speaker 1: wouldn't have access to food, and the food drive that 1151 00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:51,880 Speaker 1: resulted shows just how much people care. The school received 1152 00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:54,600 Speaker 1: so many donations that they covered the front lawn with 1153 00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:58,320 Speaker 1: bags of food and household supplies. Teacher Jabari Brown estimates 1154 00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:02,160 Speaker 1: they received tens of thousands of donations. A line of 1155 00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:05,520 Speaker 1: cars to drop off supplies was fourteen blocks long in 1156 00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:08,600 Speaker 1: one direction and had traffic backed up all day. All 1157 00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:10,880 Speaker 1: the extra donations are going to be given to local 1158 00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:13,360 Speaker 1: food banks. Brown says it's just one symbol of the 1159 00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:17,000 Speaker 1: resilience spirit of the Minneapolis area. This will let everyone 1160 00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:19,840 Speaker 1: know that despite everything that's going on, we're a strong 1161 00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:25,000 Speaker 1: knit city. Way to come. That's incredible. Yeah, I'm not 1162 00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:26,920 Speaker 1: sure if we have done this story before, but all 1163 00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:28,840 Speaker 1: the days are blending together. I think the last two 1164 00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:31,320 Speaker 1: months have blended together. Anyway, it's a good one, So 1165 00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:34,040 Speaker 1: just pretend like you've never heard it. Comic books. Comic 1166 00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:37,240 Speaker 1: books often tell extraordinary stories about larger than life superheroes. 1167 00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:39,840 Speaker 1: This is from MSN dot com. But when fans asked 1168 00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:43,880 Speaker 1: Mexican American comic book creator Hector Rodriguez to put out 1169 00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:47,280 Speaker 1: a special issue during the pandemic, he knew immediately the 1170 00:58:47,360 --> 00:58:49,760 Speaker 1: story that he wanted to tell the story of thousands 1171 00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:52,440 Speaker 1: of invisible workers. Comic books are a great way to 1172 00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:55,480 Speaker 1: help people connect, he said, but very few stories focus 1173 00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:58,640 Speaker 1: on the people who are feeding us. He's a creator 1174 00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:03,600 Speaker 1: of l piss Hero, which is a cross border superhero 1175 00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:07,520 Speaker 1: who has become a champion of Mexican heritage and Latino immigrants. 1176 00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:11,000 Speaker 1: The special pandemic issue, which is released online for free, 1177 00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:15,600 Speaker 1: I believe it's already out. El Pesso Hero Hero takes 1178 00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:18,680 Speaker 1: a backseat to a nurse and other essential workers facing 1179 00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:22,120 Speaker 1: tough day to day challenges against COVID nineteen. It's definitely 1180 00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:27,360 Speaker 1: a contrast from normal as El Pesso Hero Hero maybe 1181 00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:30,080 Speaker 1: you say that way fighting corruption, drug cartels, and racism 1182 00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:34,200 Speaker 1: on the border, fans will see him supporting real life heroes, 1183 00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:36,960 Speaker 1: helping a nurse bring medical mass to agriculture workers and 1184 00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:40,400 Speaker 1: deliver a musheated message of solidarity and positivity to a 1185 00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:45,080 Speaker 1: community that is often marginalized in the shadows. So using 1186 00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:48,960 Speaker 1: his voice to spread a message about these frontline workers, 1187 00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:56,040 Speaker 1: which I know have. I mean, so we've got racial injustice, 1188 00:59:56,600 --> 01:00:01,440 Speaker 1: we've got protesting, we've got violence and looting in our communities, 1189 01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:03,880 Speaker 1: and then we have a pandemic. Yes, on top of 1190 01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:06,760 Speaker 1: all of that go on here we're trying to manage 1191 01:00:06,760 --> 01:00:09,560 Speaker 1: all of those things. People were hoping to maybe get 1192 01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:11,600 Speaker 1: back to work and stories were beginning to open and 1193 01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:14,480 Speaker 1: now we've moved backwards because of all of this. So 1194 01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:16,160 Speaker 1: this is so much, but I guess I want to 1195 01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:18,240 Speaker 1: do that story because I didn't. I don't want to 1196 01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:20,080 Speaker 1: forget about the nurses and the doctors and the front 1197 01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:23,640 Speaker 1: line workers, who, by the way, are still it's nowhere 1198 01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:26,520 Speaker 1: near over. We're still doing that too. So thanks to 1199 01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:28,680 Speaker 1: everybody out there in our community trying to make a 1200 01:00:29,320 --> 01:00:31,800 Speaker 1: positive difference.
